Why your help is needed
BUNAC works with Indian schools that are in real need for support from English-speaking
volunteers. Classrooms in underprivileged regions of India can be extremely overcrowded,
so often it is often difficult for teachers to provide pupils with the kind of educational
support that those in the developed world enjoy.
Volunteers on the project support local schools primarily by taking English classes,
but there are also opportunities to get involved in organising extra-curricular
activities, from arts and crafts, dance or music, to sports days and football matches.
Some students may have learning difficulties or come from migrant communities or
child labour backgrounds, so the project is a truly eye-opening experience for many
volunteers. As volunteers are encouraged to involve themselves in students’ educational
development in any way they can the project can be extremely rewarding for those
who love working with children.
How long can I go for? Either 8 or 12 weeks, including an in-depth arrival orientation
Working hours: 3-4 hours a day, 5 days a week
Eligibility: British/Irish, 18+
A TEFL qualification, experience of teaching or experience of working with children
